Chicago Cubs Fall to Brewers as Jacob Misiorowski Throws 105‑mph Fastball

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 6‑2 at American Family Field, extending their winning streak to five games and solidifying their lead in the NL Central. Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski dominated on the mound, delivering a 105.5 mph fastball—tied for the third‑fastest pitch recorded since 2008—and limiting the Cubs to one run over six innings while striking out eight batters.

Cubs pitcher Colin Rea also performed well, allowing only one run in five innings, but the bullpen could not hold the lead. Seiya Suzuki provided the lone Cubs offense with a solo home run. In the upcoming series against the New York Mets, the Cubs will adjust their lineup: Seiya Suzuki will sit, Matthew Boyd returns to the rotation after a six‑inning start versus Arizona, and the team deals with injuries to Ben Brown (neck stress reaction) and Edward Cabrera (hamstring strain). The Mets will feature Juan Soto in the lineup after a brief injury layoff, while Freddy Peralta starts for New York.
